1.0 ussd-gui stores its configuration file where?

The configuration file is at ~/.config/ussd-gui/ussd-gui.conf.

1.1 How does a fully populated config file look like?

It looks like this:

[General]
history=*102#\n*148*88#\n*\n*102*02#\n*150*01#\n*148*00#\n*150*60#
no_history=*104*
gsm7Encoded=true
timeout=60

The "history" entry is managed by the application itself and it is used to keep a history of ussd codes entered.

The "no_history" line is NOT managed by the application and a user must manually create it and add "\n" separated entries for ussd codes they do not want to be logged in the "history" entry.

The "gsm7Encoded" entry is managed by the application and there is no point in knowing why it is there.

The "timeout" entry is NOT managed by the application and the user can use it to set how many seconds the application should wait for a ussd response. This option may be useful for some devices since they may take toooooo long to respond if at all.
